I carry it with me as a back up blower ,but gave up on using it for anything else.

If you think you are gonna stick it bushes and suck out the leaves . Forget it. If you think you are gonna use it to suck up piles of shrub clippings or clean the beds of them. Forget it.

It will pick up clippings and debris , but it is not worth the time
or effort. You have to be right on top of it for it to work. It gets really awkward to handle, and the bags get all dusty and starts to really hang on you. Then starts to fall off as it fills up.

The vac portion of that tool is one of the worst tool investments that I have made.
